Hail Storm
Florida experiences hail storms primarily during the spring and summer months, with hailstones ranging in size from small pellets to larger stones. These storms can occur suddenly and cause damage to properties, vehicles, and crops. Regions such as Central Florida, the Gulf Coast, and parts of South Florida are known to be more prone to hail storms.
Types of Hail Damage to Property:
Hail can cause various types of damage to properties, including:
- Roof damage: Hail can cause dents, cracks, or holes in roofing materials.
- Window damage: Hail impact can shatter windows or cause cracks.
- Siding damage: Hailstones can dent or chip siding materials.
- Vehicle damage: Hail can leave dents and scratches on vehicles parked outdoors.
Insurance Coverage for Hail Damage:
Homeowners’ insurance policies in Florida typically cover hail damage to properties. It is important to review your policy to understand the extent of coverage for hail damage. Some policies may have specific deductibles or exclusions related to hail damage, so it’s essential to be aware of these details.
Beware of Storm Chasers and Insurance Fraud
At Pro Roofing LLC, we understand the importance of choosing a reputable contractor for your roofing needs. Unfortunately, the roofing industry is not immune to storm chasers and contractors looking to commit insurance fraud for profit. Here are some warning signs to watch out for:
1. Unexpected Visits: While reputable companies like Pro Roofing LLC proactively reach out to homeowners in need, you may encounter unknown companies knocking on your door or leaving door hangers without prior contact.
2. High-Pressure Tactics: Be cautious of companies offering free roofs with no deductible or cost, using high-pressure sales tactics, and sporting similar color uniforms. These are common strategies used by storm chasers and fraudulent contractors.
3. Permit Requests: If a contractor asks you to pull a permit on their behalf to “save money,” it could be a red flag. This practice is often used by uninsured contractors to shift liability onto homeowners, potentially exposing you to legal risks.
4.Deductible Policy: All contractors, including Pro Roofing, are required to collect the deductible on any insurance claim. If a contractor offers you a free roof without paying your deductible, it constitutes insurance fraud. Beware of contractors who discount your deductible or cause mechanical damage to create false insurance claims.
Protect yourself and your property by choosing a trustworthy and established roofing contractor like Pro Roofing LLC. We prioritize safety, quality, and transparency in all our projects, ensuring your peace of mind throughout the roofing process.
Do Your Research!
Before choosing a roofing contractor, it’s essential to conduct thorough research. Check the news and search on Google for historical stories about roofing contractors with negative histories, including:
- Insurance Fraud: Look for instances of false claims, mechanical damage, and other fraudulent activities related to insurance claims.
- High-Pressure Sales Tactics: Be wary of contractors engaging in high-pressure sales and solicitation harassment, especially in no solicitation zones.
- Licensing and Insurance: Ensure that the contractor operates with proper licensing, insurance, and certifications.
- Product Quality: Some contractors may use out-of-state products that do not meet Florida’s weather requirements for UV resistance, humidity, and algae protection. These products are often associated with storm chasers or contractors based outside of Florida.
By being diligent and conducting thorough research, you can protect yourself from falling victim to insurance fraud or unscrupulous roofing practices. Choose Pro Roofing for reliable, professional roofing services backed by a commitment to honesty and quality craftsmanship.
